Workshop

The Canadian Light Source will be hosting a workshop on the collection and analysis of High-Resolution Vibrational-Rotational spectra. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a practical introduction about the analysis of Vibrational-rotational spectra. Also included will be an introduction to the use of synchrotron facilities (specifically the CLS) for the collection of High-Resolution spectra.

Please click here to visit the workshop website.

Topics will include:

  • Collecting High Resolution Infrared Spectra at a Synchrotron (Chair: Brant Billinghurst)
    • Introduction the Far-Infrared Beamline
    • Applying for Beamtime
    • Preparing for your beamtime
    • Brief OPUS tutorial
    • What makes an experiment a good candidate for synchrotron work
  • Basic Physics of High Resolution Spectroscopy (Chair: Dennis Tokaryk)
    • Nomenclature
    • Transitions
    • Selection Rules
    • Perturbations
  • Analysis (Chair: A.R.W McKellar)
    • Loomis-Wood Plots
    • Combination Differences
    • Using Fitting tools
    • Understanding fitting parameters
    • Handling Perturbations


    • This workshop will be held Friday afternoon and all day Saturday (6/26-27) immediately following ISMS.

    Further details will be added shortly.

    ARCHIVE

    There are currently two ways to retrieve material from past Symposia. Starting with the 50th meeting, the complete program as displayed on our website has been stored, and is accessible by following the links below.

    Abstracts from the first Symposium onward have also been permanently archived in searchable systems maintained by the Ohio State and University of Illinois libraries. Abstracts from 1946-2013 are available at the OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, and those from 2014-present are available at UIUC Library Knowledge Bank (IDEALS).

    Instructions for searching abstracts, including for chemical formula and spectroscopic symbols using LaTeX notation, are available at these sites.

    If you would like to purchase a copy of the Abstract Book from a previous meeting, please contact Birgit for availability and pricing.
